, indicates that most engineering students havesimilar experiences during their first year. Students quickly need to enroll in classes, arrangestudent housing, account for their cost of living, maintain their jobs, life and work in balance,and more [1]. While all these experiences are occurring, another important component of thestudent journey is matriculation. Often during the first few weeks of school, identity andcommunity begin to form and resonate for many students. They begin to create and maintain asense of belonging for themselves while attending their university [2]. As such, the programleadership holds that helping incoming students to develop a community of like-minded peers upfront is important for student success.The term “belonging

Key to the success of that structural reformationis the continuance of the ABET emphasis on Student Outcomes over curriculum criteria, asbegun in 2000 [31], [39]. Such emphases will free engineering programs to innovate and remaincurrent in the genAI age.In Hargroves and Desha’s second step [37], programs should continue to map learning pathways,a process already done during curriculum reviews, with genAI in mind.

EducationIntroductionEntrepreneurial Mindset (EM) was regarded as an essential benefit for engineering students. Anentrepreneurial mindset is a cognitive behavior to inspire an engineer toward opportunityrealization and value innovation under a specific context, as well as to initiate the orientation ofan entrepreneurial venture [5]. An entrepreneurial mindset was particularly applied toengineering doctoral students because they embraced more senior knowledge and skills andcould develop intellectual properties. Moreover, Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML) is aninstructional approach that equips students with the skills to recognize opportunities, prioritizemeaningful impact, and generate value through their solutions [6]. The entrepreneurial mindset isrooted in three

Leveraging Pre-Existing Engineering Curricula. Using existing engineering curricula was a commoninitial strategy for integrating semiconductor concepts. While engineering courses are a logical entry point,two important caveats emerged. First, engineering curricula are not automatically equivalent tosemiconductor education. Although they cover foundational concepts like circuits, design, and problem-solving, they can lack attention to semiconductor-specific content such as doping, photolithography, or chipfabrication. A simple solution is to ensure mindful, explicit
